One shouldn't wear contacts in a chemical lab, the fumes warped mine, and I went to glasses.  

They opt office had a bunch of machines I had not seen before that measured all sorts of things including how distorted my eyeballs are.  My eyes were dilated and watery for a few hours.

They do one eye at a time.

Yup, there were no contacts allowed when we were cleaning ion sources from our ion implanters.  You had to clean them under a vent hood whilst wearing a proper respirator.  No gasses but very fine particulates of arsenic, phosphorus, and antimony.

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, PL 100-707, signed into law November 23, 1988; amended the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, PL 93-288.

This Act constitutes the statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities especially as they pertain to FEMA and FEMA programs.

I am quite blind without my glasses (-14.50 in one eye and -14.75 in the other). They cannot get my vision to 20/20 with contacts. I cannot get lasik as they can't correct my vision enough.  I went to try to get clear lense replacement and they told me they couldn't get me to the place I won't need glasses, so no sense in paying $8,000 just to get a lower prescription.  I have a slight cataract, so if and when they get to the place that I need surgery I will go ahead and have them correct my vision as much as they can.  I am dreading that it might happen one day that I can't wear contacts and I will have to wear my glasses all the time. 

in the meantime, I have developed glaucoma.  Thankfully with my vision being so bad, I make regular visits to the eye doctor and it was discovered very early so unlike most, I didn't have much damage to my eye sight when found and with treatment, I have had almost no progression in the last 6 years. 

I am the proverbial blind referee
Geez.  I was bad at -8.5.

So, Boise State has played in Athens before.  UGA at #5 should beat them, and then they get BYU, who they also "should" beat, an example of how being at #5 ain't that awful, but then it gets real.
